Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.
I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Yes. Back to the public good. We need a new word for socialism.
Elizabeth Wilkins: "The good version is that we get together to think about what we need in terms of power the ideas & the people to create a new common sense - one that brings us back for the modern era to that marriage of democracy & capitalism, where democracy shapes markets for the public good."

Florida– there are two critically important special elections coming up on April 1st that could bring some sense of balance, some sanity back to Congress. Vote for Gay Valimont (FL-01) & Josh Weil (FL-06). We need these two voices of reason in the US House. We’re one week away. Make a plan to vote.

This is the reality we must broadcast. All voices must be heard to create a viable reality. “The construction of reality” need not be a curse.

Check your voter page to make sure your vote was counted!!!
Every American should verify their vote
If it’s missing, report it. That’s how they see the discrepancies
I had a bad dream about Trump postal workers stealing ballots and putting them in their storage units. just a dream but….

Greed keeps it from trickling.
From 1989 — 2021, typical working families in the US saw negligible increases in their real incomes and wealth.

Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% became $29 trillion richer.

Trickle-down economics did not work.

It still does not work.

It will never work.

It's not meant to work.

Who needs a wake up call?
"We are going to put on the armor of God. And maybe strap on a Glock on the side of us just in case." -AZ Senate candidate Kari Lake

The blending of White Christian Nationalism and increasingly overt calls for violence is a dangerous combination.

So many questions left unanswered.
OF COURSE Bill Barr still supports the criminal GOP, he wouldn't have gone through all that hassle of claiming that Jeffrey Epstein's cellmate had been unexpectedly transferred and both cameras were "malfunctioning" the night Epstein "committed suicide" in prison if he didn't.

Another Republican stunt to disembowel the federal government. So they can divide the country into state mob territories
Your regular reminder that if not for the Trump and Bush tax cuts, federal revenues would keep pace with federal spending indefinitely.

Instead, these tax cuts have added $10 trillion to the debt.

The so called "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

Health is more important than money.
About 100 million people in the US will be exposed to fewer cancer-causing “forever chemicals” under the country’s first-ever drinking water standards for PFAS finalized Wednesday by the EPA.

What is there to do about it?!
Harlan Crow and a few other GOP megadonors have provided Clarence Thomas with:

-38 destination vacations

-26 private jet flights

-6 helicopter flights

-Yacht voyages

Still wondering why SCOTUS approval ratings have hit record lows?

Been happening for quite a awhile.
This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
